Look at the size of the oysters! They’re huge and super fresh. This place has all the classic New Orleans dishes — gumbo, jambalaya, soft shell crab, and more. The staff is really friendly and welcoming too. I think this spot has the best raw oysters in New Orleans for sure. Highly recommend stopping by!

Stopped by J’s Seafood Dock in the French Market and had some of the freshest oysters I’ve ever had. They were huge, super clean, and served with an amazing sauce that took them to the next level. The gentleman working the oyster bar was so kind and friendly. It truly added to the experience. Loved the energy, loved the food. Absolutely worth a stop if you’re in New Orleans!

I really wanted to enjoy this spot, especially given the great location and atmosphere. I ordered the steamed shrimp, but unfortunately they didn’t taste very fresh and were significantly overcooked. The shells were extremely difficult to peel, which took away from the experience. I also ordered a pound and am fairly certain the portion was short of a full pound.
That said, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and eating in the open-air market setting was genuinely enjoyable. The atmosphere and service were highlights, but the food quality didn’t match the experience this time.

found inside the French Open Air Market food was absolutely delicious. my husband said they were the best alligator bites he’s had and I agree first time I’ve ever tried soft shell crab and thought it was delicious. my Creole oysters with colored greens were divine my husband even ate some collard greens

Originally good to try a different shop. One of the other vendors highly recommended J’s over the other the shops. Ordered the half fried shrimp and fish boat on fries. Daaaayum… the food was on point. Everything was fresh, catfish and shrimp were damn good. Shrimp, were clean, plump and delicious. Thank you again for the great meal and experience.

The largest raw oysters I have ever had! I split a dozen and it was perfect. Love the atmosphere, and the selections overall will have to be tried next time I come back. Best part, no line and very friendly service!

This place was recommended by my sister, from her previous trip to New Orleans.
All I can say is wow… Everything was tasty,
fresh and well made. It was all made relatively fast. The oysters were huge! I’ve never seen or tasted anything like it. I tried the other food stands, J’s is hands down the best.

This place is a MUST TRY in New Orleans! Fantastic creole food with fresh ingredients that tastes like it was made with love and passion. My go to dish I order is the oysters creole but I’ve also have their crawfish pie and crawfish beignets – all amazing! Whatever sauce they drizzle on their food is so delicious I wish I could bottle it up lol. The staff are friendly as always and my food comes in a timely manner. I love that there’s also seats nearby to enjoy my meal. I can’t WAIT to return here.

I visited J’s Seafood Dock and tried the fried oysters. Honestly, they were just okay — nothing really stood out for me in terms of flavor. If you’re exploring the French Market, it’s an easy place to grab a quick bite.
